Can I use my United Kingdom plug in Malta?
A straight answer for United Kingdom devices on a Malta trip — plugs, voltage and frequency compared.
No adapter needed
Your Type G plugs fit Malta sockets. Voltage and frequency also match, so there is nothing to adapt.
Side by side
| United Kingdom | Malta | |
|---|---|---|
| Plug types | Type G, Type D and Type M | Type G |
| Voltage | 230 V | 230 V |
| Frequency | 50 Hz | 50 Hz |

What the sockets look like
United Kingdom
Malta
Both countries sit in the same voltage class — 230 V in United Kingdom and 230 V in Malta — so the voltage is not a problem. Only the socket shape needs solving.
What to pack
- Your Type G plugs fit Malta sockets — and the voltage matches.
- A second adapter if you travel with a partner — they are cheap and easy to lose.
Nothing to buy. Your plugs fit and the voltage matches, so no adapter or converter is needed for this trip.
